About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Started talking with Sarah over the summer because of depression and loneliness after losing family members to sickness. Sarah was very considerate and polite with all of our conversations and made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Sarah is always extremely professional, listened to what I had to say with kind, understanding ears, and truly got to know me as a person and felt like she could see through me to parts I didn't even recognize. I am very appreciative of her help!
